Computer Club, DECA The class prepares us for real life experiences, stated Carol Martinez. here can a person learn to use a computer and then take this knowledge and apply it towards a career? Why right here on this campus, ofcourse - in Computer Club and Distributive Education Clubs of America CDECAJ. Sponsored by Owen Roades, the Com- puter Club boasts a membership of 40 students. The officers are: Paul Quarles, Presidentg Doug Browning, Vice Presi- dent, Pamela Greene, Secretary, Darren Carter, Treasurer. The goals of our club are to increase our knowledge of computers and to understand the importance of computers in our lives, stated Roades. Participation in outside activities helped to enrich the knowledge of most members. A few of these were: a trip to the Texas Instruments plant, a trip to the Rice University Computer and Semantics Lab to see a talking computer, and the Annual Games-a-thon. Now that a student has all this knowledge, what can he do with it? With the aide of DECA, a student can develop his knowledge into professional skills. Sponsored by Michelle Burns and Bill Briggs, DECA's purpose is to teach job techniques such as advertising display, salesmanship and marketing. You ac- tually work on machines you will be us- ing in the marketing field, remarked Stephanie Johnston. The officers, President, Doug Erdyg and Vice President, Rendi Ransom, led DECA members to mini contests at Klein Oak and Klein Forest to prepare for area and state competitions in Galveston and Fort Worth. Students ranking in the top fourteenfat the state level travelled to na- tionals, which were held in San Francisco in early May. Wsawmmdy, ,fx cise.
